For yesterdays will be tomorrow and I will be here

FOR YESTERDAYS WILL BE TOMORROW AND I WILL BE HERE

I found myself looking over that last message
Time had passed it seemed an age
Something I promised myself I would not do
But here I am thinking of you
I prayed, I hoped my feelings would wither and die
I bit my lip holding back the feelings that made me cry
In some respects I wished, I hadn't succumbed
I wished so much it hadn't began
Yet in others I was touched by the beauty of your soul
No one else saw what I did in you, you were my whole
I'd have sold my soul to have fallen in your eyes
Those deepest pools I'd sink, I'd drown and die
They were windows of all time
Foolishly I fell deeply in and believed you were mine
So I live and go about my life incomplete
Knowing one day we will again meet
In some far off, some far flung, distant place
At once instantly I will recognise that face
Those knowing looks, and oh that smile
And I know it seems so far away, such a while
But I am trapped as a moth in love's lamp burning flame
You touched my soul, and I'm not the same
I can never go back to how I used to be
Looking through different eyes now to see
You are the very mirror of my heart
And it hurts knowing its twin is missing, apart
Some lesson I am meant to experience and know
Some hard tough lesson to make souls grow
But do I regret no, not ever at all
I basked in the love and each tiny moment no matter how small
I miss you like crazy, out of my mind
But one day in another lifetime my soul, you will find
And all those lifetimes will melt and disappear
For yesterdays will be tomorrow and I will be here
